After getting married and having kids, David and Gioia Berry decided to buy a gym and enter bodybuilding competitions. Today, the 81-year-olds are still going strong in the gym, breaking world records at fitness competitions.
Rather than travelling the world, the 81-year-olds have opted to spend their retirement years breaking world records in fitness competitions .
The Gold Coast couple, who have been married for more than 60 years, have no plans of slowing down either.They've spent the past few months training at their local gym and pool for the indoor rowing event at the Pan Pacific Masters Games on the Gold Coast this week. "I trained reasonably hard up until I met Gioia , and then we got married , and we had kids, and everything went on hold for a few years, and we started again probably 10 years after we were married."But Mr Berry said convincing his wife to compete was "a real challenge".
Mr Berry entered his first bodybuilding competition about a year later at 39 and won the masters category for his age group in the Mr Australia contest.)
